Inspiration
Recently during Nepal earthquake and in many other past disasters I've seen some people under the buildings for 2-3 days and then they come out it's mainly because the rescue teams not knowing where the victims are
How it works
It has two android apps one for people called Locate-me and one for rescue teams. We store the GPS locations of users in a database and update if the distance traveled is greater than certain threshold(calculated using Accelerometer). In the rescue team app we will plot the latest update location of all users on a Google Map along with details like name of the person. And the rescue team can go and help the victim.
Challenges I ran into
Had problems with updating the GPS coordinates and calculating distance traveled using accelerometer
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Hopefully this would be a handy tool during disasters.
What I learned
I'm a beginner in Android Application development. I've learnt application development and I've learnt communicating from android app to a database and using Google Maps.
What's next for JUSTDOIT
More accurate tracking and minimal communication with database
